Tiger Woods | Home Sweet Home on Jupiter Island

Tiger Woods, whose resurgence on the PGA Tour manifested itself on the final day of The Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, has called South Florida home for about a year.

The famous duffer lives in a brand-new, custom-built mansion on Jupiter Island – complete with a 3.5-acre, four-hole practice facility in the back yard. The $54.5 million piece of property spans the narrow island and encompasses 12 acres.
Woods finished in second place at The Honda Classic at 10-under par and shot a personal best of 62 in the fourth round. Fellow Jupiter resident Tom Gillis tied Woods, and the two split the second-place purse.

Jupiter Island ranks among the most affluent communities in the United States and stands out for its beautiful beaches and small-town charm. The barrier-island town stretches nine miles into Martin County and has a year-round population of about 600 residents. Nathaniel Moore, an influential environmentalist who, at 79 years of age, continues to champion for resource protection in the state, wrote a book about the island titled A Different Vision: The History of the Hobe Sound Company and the Jupiter Island Club.

“Tiger probably wanted privacy – the name of his boat,” said Rob Thomson, managing partner of Waterfront Properties and Club Communities. “Jupiter Island gives him ocean-to-intracoastal with room for his own private practice course on his estate.”
